Whatever happened to decorum in life and in politics? This is like the Kardashian/reality TV version of presidential politics, and it's extremely embarrassing. Can you imagine Howard Baker acting like this?

Read Daniel Greenfield's latest column, Immigration or an iPhone. He says what's plain and right in front of us, except that the politically correct liberals and the pandering, kowtowing Democrats choose not to see. He says, "We do not have an American terror network problem. The Amish aren't
using iPhones or obscure apps to coordinate terror attacks. We have a
Muslim terror network problem. It's not because of the Methodists that
we have to weigh our mouthwash or take our shoes off and put them in a
greasy plastic tray at the airport. It's because 19 Muslims entered this
country, hijacked our airplanes and murdered thousands of Americans.
Guantanamo Bay is not an issue because Buddhists are at war with
America. It's an issue because Muslim terrorists are at war with
America...The only backdoor that should be at issue here is the one that Muslim
terrorists use to enter America. We don't need to violate everyone's
rights to close it. We just need the political will to do the common
sense thing and shut down the source of the threat. Either that or give
up on our privacy."

How many more times do we have to say this, and how many more people will be murdered by Muslims before something is done about it?

Just read this article: ‘Jew haters’ spread fear at CUNY colleges.' In response to the antisemitic thuggery, ZOA President Morton Klein said, “Such bigotry would never be tolerated by CUNY if it were being directed
against another ethnic, racial or other targeted group.” Exactly! But nobody seems to care unless the victims are black or Muslims.

I saw this at American Digest: Of all Primo Levi’s searing stories, the one that I can’t get out of my head is his account of his arrival at Auschwitz,

parched with thirst after days in a boxcar
with no water, and reaching for a glistening, crystal-clear icicle
hanging out a window. An SS guard slapped it out of his hand. “Why?”
asked Levi. “Hier ist kein warum,” growled the Nazi. “Here, there is no why.” Liberty—If You Can Keep It by Myron Magnet

I liked this op-ed from The Algemeiner, Why I, an American-Israeli, Support Marco Rubio for President. Writer Douglas Altabef discusses the candidates in regards to Israel, and he concludes, "His personal story, background, youth and understanding of issues have
impressed a broad spectrum of the electorate. He consistently polls as being the
most electable of the Republicans.
Rubio can and would defeat Clinton in an election. The numbers showing up for
voting in Republican versus Democratic primaries clearly contrast the excitement
and desire level in 2016. The advantage is all to the GOP. Plus, if Rubio were
to run with Kasich, a popular governor of Ohio, he would have strength in the
two most important states in recent elections — Florida and Ohio — as well as a
strong appeal to independents and moderate Democrats.
Also, at the end of the day, Americans want to vote for their hopes and not
just their fears. Rubio offers hope; Clinton offers a déjà vu and reality that
it’s all about her and the Clintons, and their situational ethics and
cronyism.So with that combination of being a true friend of ours, and a man who could
very well wrest the presidency away from Democrats increasingly hostile to
Israel, Marco Rubio is, for this American Israeli, the clear choice for
president in 2016."

Today Obama again spoke about closing Guantanamo Bay! Here's Senator Cornyn's common sense response: "'Bringing these detainees to the U.S. would not only violate current law,
it would defy the will of Congress and the American people who do not
want dangerous, radical terrorists in their backyards.'"

I have a bad feeling that Obama will simply dump these terrorists into U.S. prisons and not tell anywhere where they are, just like he did with the illegal alien children in 2014. Boy, he really knows how to protect the American people, doesn't he?

Read the latest news zingers at Argus Hamilton's latest column, which includes this item: "The Department of Health issued a
report on how overloaded the nation's hospital emergency rooms are even
after Obamacare. The report says one in five Americans annually visit
the ER. The other four avoid it by not working their smart phones while
they ride their hover boards to Chipotle's."

About Apple refusing to unlock the phone of the murderous San Bernardino terrorists: wouldn't you think some genius at MIT or someplace could solve the problem? If unlocking that phone can help prevent another terrorist attack, what's the problem? Also, think of the propaganda value ISIS and Al Qaeda must be getting out of this -- it's just disgraceful.

"Defiant Israeli Owner of Ohio Restaurant Attacked by Machete-Wielding Assailant Says He Will Now Wear Star of David. Hany Baransi, a Christian Arab from Haifa, displays an Israeli flag
in the window of his restaurant, Nazareth Mediterranean Cuisine, which
has been open for 27 years. When asked if he would consider removing the
flag as a precaution, Baransi rejected the idea. 'Actually I have another flag, and I am going to get a bigger flag,
and I am going to get a Star of David necklace and put it on my chest,
and I am going to get a tattoo,” he said. “Honest to God, I am not
kidding. They don’t scare me. We are Israelis. We are Israelis. We are
resilient, we fight back.'"

Seen at Chicks on the Right: "The choice in this election is shaping up to be a very clear one. It will
likely boil down to a battle between those who create and produce wealth, and
those who take it and redistribute it."

How can you prefer the latter, especially after 8 years of Obama? And what an embarrassment for our country and its former self-reliance that you would prefer it!

Here's a news item from Argus Hamilton's latest column: "The National Highway
Transportation Safety Board will ask Congress to lower blood alcohol
levels to define legal intoxication. It just never ends. You're not
drunk unless while driving you suddenly swerve to avoid a tree and then
realize it's just the air freshener hanging from your mirror."

The recipients of the Golden Weasel Statuette of Shame as Weasel of the Week are The Ultra-sensitive Baby Killing Warriors At NARAL!! These were the people whogot angry over a Doritos ad during the Super Bowl-- angrier than theyget over the abortions they encourage.

It was infuriating to read the following in a report of the trial of Auschwitz SS guard Reinhold Hanning: "He showed no
reaction as
the first witness, Leon Schwarzbaum, a 94-year-old Auschwitz survivor, read
moving testimony about his own experiences, then looked directly at Hanning and
made an emotional plea. 'Mr. Hanning, we
are about the same age and we will both soon be before the highest court,'
Schwarzbaum said, his voice quavering and hands trembling. 'Speak here about
what you and your comrades did!'"

They may be the same age, but Mr. Schwarzbaum is twice the man this sadist is.

Cal Thomas has a column critical of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders: "Clinton and Sanders would never qualify for membership in the Optimist
club. Theirs is a steady stream of gloom, doom and pessimism. America's
best days are behind us and they weren't so good after all. Slavery,
racism and denial of women's rights ... the list goes on...'The sun will come out tomorrow,' sings an optimistic Annie in the Broadway musical. For Hillary and Bernie, it's a 'hard knock life' and it's always Midnight in America."

Must everything be seen through the prism of race and gender? I'm really tired of divisive things like this: "NEW YORK -- Federal Reserve leadership is overly male, almost entirely
white and drawn too frequently from the banking community, according to a
group critical of the central bank."

Excuse me, but money doesn't have a gender, and the only color that's important is green.

The humorist's latest column contains news items like this one: "Hillary Clinton and Bernie
Sanders debated in New Hampshire Thursday and argued over the definition
of socialism. A good example popped up the next day. A Vermont tattoo
artist on Friday offered to tattoo a likeness of Bernie Sanders to any
registered voter for free, forty dollars after taxes."(Cartoon by Michael Ramirez.)

From PJ Media: "Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has warned young women that
if they do not vote for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, they
are traitors to their sex. At a Saturday New Hampshire rally for
Clinton, Albright repeated her tagline, with a beaming Hillary looking on: 'There's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other.'"

Ugh. There must be a special place in hell for Democrats whose best choice is between a female Obama and an avowed socialist. I guess the winner will be the one who promises the most free stuff to the most liberals.

Here we go again: "Google Fiber and the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) have partnered to bring 'ultra-high speed' 1 gigabit Internet to public housing units in many cities – a connection speed much faster
than the average household in the United States. West Bluff
Townhomes in Kansas City, Mo., has become the first public housing
development with a 1 gigabit or 1,000 mbps Internet connection through
the ConnectHome Initiative. Google Fiber said the speed has been
provided free of charge and at no cost to HUD." If you recall, back in 2010, free internet service was actually referred to as a "basic right" and a "civil right."

Sounds like the computer version of the Obamaphone! I've always thought that if you get anything for free, you should be required to do something in return to earn it: work a certain amount of hours, or volunteer. Also, usage should be restricted. With free phones, you should have only a certain amount of minutes; or the ability to dial only 9-1-1. With free Internet, limited (not unlimited) access, and only certain websites would be available, such as job websites.

Here's an excellent Random Thought from Dr. Thomas Sowell: "In trying to come up with alternatives to the welfare state, even some
staunch conservatives have created plans that exempt low-income people
from paying taxes, or plans that provide some basic income to all,
making it unnecessary to work. But exempting anyone from responsibility
and reciprocity as members of society risks disaster for those
individuals and for society."

In his latest column, Argus Hamilton writes, "The Hollywood Reporter says that
British white actor Joseph Fiennes will play Michael Jackson in a movie.
He plays the older Jackson. In his remarkable life, Michael Jackson
went from being a black superstar who could appeal to white audiences to
a white superstar who appealed to black audiences."

Seeing Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders tied in Iowa makes you wonder if there's any difference between Democrats and Socialists today.

Next year at this time, we will have a new president (Rubio, I hope), and we had better pray it's not Clinton or Sanders! If it is one of them, will they be blaming everything on "my predecessor" the way Obama has done with GW Bush?
